[hometext] => This poem deals with the often harsh reality of life as a young child.
[bodytext] => It was a summer night leaves green and rich full of colour and life idyllic sounds like birds chirping their naïve little songs and lawn mowers growling savagely at their thin, green enemies the leather of the sofa is cool against my forehead warm from playing tag with the yellow dog in the backyard footsteps they both come in one flanks me on either side two sentries, cold resolute and calm for the moment. she speaks first her words are kind and gentle clear and flowing like the two salty tracks down her cheeks bits of tissue falling from her hand like damp snowflakes he bellows back his words are hard, venomous they slice into my flesh like frozen knives burrowing deep, drawing blood grabbing hold of my calm and shaking it until it gasps for air killing my delicate, perfect childhood.
